Ice Hockey is not just a game played in Europe and North America. Follow the national ice hockey team of India as they embark on a journey from the Himalayas to Canada to play against a professional hockey team. Producer: Bruce Koken

Team India played in its first-ever match in North America versus Canada's only ECHL franchise, the Brampton Beast, at the Powerade Centre in Brampton, Ontario, just outside of Toronto. This was the first time an ECHL team competed against any national team, and it was made even more special by the fact that the team was comprised of 10 players from India and 10 players that tried out in Brampton in advance of the exhibition match.

For all of these reasons, we felt this warranted a special jersey!

Some of the main features include:

Throwback to traditional hockey jerseys with the shoulder bar, elbow & torso stripes and piping on the pants.

New color scheme, featuring blue as a primary home color, similar to India's cricket and field hockey teams. The blue comes from the Ashoka Chakra sun in the middle of the Indian national flag. The white jersey was designated as the away color, similar to NHL

stylized "Indic" script for "India" on the front, the name on the back and the captains

A Bengal tiger as the chest logo, in honor of India's most famous endangered animal

A special message added throughout the jersey: "Chakde" in English, Hindi and Punjabi. Chakde roughly translates to "Let's Go!" and is written in the 3 languages most commonly spoken by Indian families in the Greater Toronto Area. It also adds great texture to the jersey

THE HOCKEY FOUNDATION HAS TWO OPTIONS OF TEAM INDIA JERSEYS AVAILABLE:

While most official jerseys are numbered 15 there is a small variety of one-off jerseys in different number/size/color combinations. You must select the exact combination that is in stock in order for it to be available. For example, the jersey with #2 is/was only available in Medium, #16 in Small and #1 is goalie-cut and only available in white. If you select large for any of these jerseys, you will not be able to add to cart.

Game-worn jerseys: Numbers of only rostered players, names on back for players from India, no names on back for players from North America

Game-worn jerseys come with matching socks and orange pant shell

*If matching color socks are not in stock, the opposing color will be provided*
